Leg Day - Did My Work

Nothing really fascinating to report today. I just got to the gym and did my work.

On squats, I felt pressure on my core when coming up. To me this meant that I was leaning forward too much. I also felt weight on the balls of my feet. I concentrated on getting the weight back and making sure that I was going straight up and down. I accomplished this by getting the bar lower on my back. From there I didn’t push myself and didn’t match my previous high. I did, however, do more sets than normal.

Warm Up:

• 50 Jumping Jacks (http://youtu.be/dmYwZH_BNd0)
• 40 Body Weight Squats (http://youtu.be/QKKZ9AGYTi4)
• 30 Crunches (http://youtu.be/1V4RXxLHNCY)
• 20 Pushups (http://youtu.be/Eh00_rniF8E)
• 10 Burpees (http://youtu.be/O7_TBHno0Os)

Leg Routine - Do 1 set at ½ weight for ten reps to warm up and focus on form, then 5 sets of 5 reps each at max weight.
